Mon, 3 Dec 2001 21:44:20 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author havensk - Though I had a decent eating experience at John O'Groats, my partner did not. After waiting 1/2 hour outside and another 20 minutes or so to be waited on inside, our food finally arrived. My boyfriend's huevos rancheros were icy gold; my old-fashioned...

Tue, 14 Aug 2001 16:41:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author havensk - If you're looking for a 5 or 6 day family backpacking trip in gorgeous back country, go to King's Canyon -- a canyon deeper than the Grand Canyon, and lusher. Take the Rae Lakes Loop, which begins and ends at the Road's End at the Cedar Grove...

A'Float Chewy

Fri, 15 Jun 2001 13:34:03 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author havensk - A'Float Sushi? A'Float Chewy. It's a fun place, but food should be food, not a conversation item.

A'Float Sushi is definitely a novelty, and I would say that anyone who's charmed by the idea of their food circling past them on little wooden...

Fri, 25 May 2001 23:03:35 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author havensk - Twelve hours at the airport -- this doesn't bode well for ATA. But it's great if you enjoy friendships that arise from strife.

Because you are guaranteed to meet a lot of people while sitting in the airport for hours on end. And the nice...

Fri, 25 May 2001 22:36:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author havensk - I bought my computer last fall, having decided that I needed a fast desktop system with a lot of memory. As a writer, these things are important, particularly when you're like me, and like to use your lack of technology as an excuse for not doing your...

Deer Park, That's Good Water! (And Mountains, and Hills, and Streams, and Rainforests)

Thu, 24 May 2001 02:53:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author havensk - I went to Seattle a little over two years ago for a one-week vacation. About half of this was spent in the city, the other half driving around the Olympic Peninsula, visiting various points of interest within the National Park.

All I can say...

Tye River Gap Campground: A Little Piece of Green

Wed, 29 Mar 2000 20:29:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author havensk - Tye River Gap Campground is off the beaten path, so much so that I had a very difficult and stressful time locating it after dark. It's nestled high upon a winding road that climbs into the heart of the George Washington National Forest in Virginia, and...

One Letter Removed from Snot

Tue, 15 Feb 2000 13:14:18 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author havensk - Yes, my title is juvenile. Snot has nothing to do with anything, but it is an unpleasant thing, as was snet.net when I used it. Some people are happy with its service... I'm happy for them. But all I ever had was bad luck.

First, I would...

Tue, 15 Feb 2000 13:00:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author havensk - Who would think that sewing would be so much fun? Certainly not anyone who's laboring away on an ancient Singer or Kenmore from the 1970s -- which is what I was doing for a while (you know the deal: broken light, built-in base for the carrying case,...

Not Made for Steaks

Tue, 8 Feb 2000 12:58:03 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author havensk - Do you like your steaks crispy and black on the outside, red and raw on the inside? Because chances are, that's what you'll get with the Foreman grill.

I've done a lot of cooking on this machine, and though I find it mostly satisfactory,...

Sun, 30 Jan 2000 17:32:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author havensk - David Skal is really gifted at making connections. His other books, on Tod Browning and on the history of the horror genre, are good, enlightening, creepy fun, as well as historically significant. Screams of Reason is no different.

It's been...

Eh...

Sun, 30 Jan 2000 17:16:50 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author havensk - Whoa, with the plaster reindeer. The interior decorating of this place was a wee bit tacky, and I was taken by surprise. The chandeliers don't match, the tables were inelegantly dressed, and up close and personal, a lot of the decorations just look...

Cilantro Heaven

Sun, 30 Jan 2000 17:08:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author havensk - Harry's is a very popular place, and for good reason. Delicious, huge burritos and enchiladas. Terrific, salty margaritas. A funky dining room, cave-like, toasty bar, and the opportunity to dine outside. The best thing I've had off their menu is...

Suffering for Your Tart

Sun, 30 Jan 2000 17:00:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author havensk - Oh, those English. Their charming accents, brusque delivery and cramped, but intimate little quarters...

The thing about Tea & Sympathy is, in order to go there you must have some sort of S&M mentality. Don't get me wrong -- it's a...

Huge Portions

Sun, 30 Jan 2000 15:48:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author havensk - Benny's Burritos is a great place to eat if you're short on money but want a filling and relatively healthful meal. Their enchiladas and burritos are huge, almost swollen, as perverse as that sounds. Lots of rice and red beans, frijoles negros, etc...

You've Got to Have S**tloads of Money

Thu, 27 Jan 2000 19:54:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author havensk - Cast your vote for The Sopranos new theme song! Jokes aside, the aforementioned track is not only one of the best songs of '98, it is also a pretty incisive glimpse into the mind of a lonely wiseguy on a downward spiral. I'm working without the liner...

Keeping it Real

Thu, 27 Jan 2000 18:32:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author havensk - Like many schools, Dartmouth recently had to renegotiate its commitment to need-blind admissions. But unlike many, perhaps even most in the Ivy League/upper echelon, it has decided to remain need-blind indefinitely. Such commitment to maintaining an...
